Treatment of aphthous stomatitis in the mouth and in the tongue at home

With aphthous stomatitis, single or multiple painful aphthous ulcers of a rounded shape are formed in different parts of the oral cavity, bordered with a red band and containing a yellowish coating in the center. In most cases, the development of this form of pathology is associated with a weakening of the body's immune defenses.

Here's how to treat this kind of stomatitis in the home:

1. As often as possible, rinse the oral cavity with infusions of medicinal herbs that have anti-inflammatory and disinfecting properties (color of chamomile, calendula, sage grass, oak bark, St. John's wort, marsh root, etc.). The most simple way of preparing the infusion involves using 1 teaspoon of the crushed raw material on a glass of boiling water, which is filled with grass and aged for 15-20 minutes in the heat. Rinse repeat at least once an hour.
2. To strengthen the regeneration processes, you can lubricate healing aphthae with sea buckthorn oil or rosehip oil, linseed oil, and also with oil solutions of vitamins A and E.
3. To enhance the immune system of the body, it is recommended to use pollen. 1-3 times a day in a teaspoon (you can mix with the same amount of honey), dissolving in your mouth, 30 minutes before eating. Resverting pollen and honey in the mouth also has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect. The course of treatment should be at least 2 months. This method should be used at home in the treatment of stomatitis after chemotherapy, which develops in such cases quite often due to a strong weakening of immunity.
